Words of Wisdom.

fit is truth, what does it
matter who says il!
knowledge of our duties is
the most useful part of philos-
ply.
As every thread of gold is
valuable, so is every moment of
time.
Genuine simplicity of heart
is "A healing and cementing
principle.
We are sure to get the better
OF fortune If we do but grapple
with her.
A crowd is not company, and
faces are but galleries of pictures
where there is 70 love.
He that would live clear of
envy must lay his finger on his
mouth, and keep his hand out
of the ink pot.
Y Inquisitive people are the
tunnels of convention; they do
not take in anything for their.
own use, but merely pass it to
anothers
You may depend upon it that
he is a coed man whose intimate
friends are all good, and whose
enemies are characters decided
ly bad.
Humility is the first lesson we
learn from reflection, and self
distrust the first proof we give
of having obtained a knowledge
of ourselves.
IF you read ten pages of a
good book, letter by letter
that is to say, with real accura-
cy-you are ferevermore, in
some measure, an educated per-
son.
In genius there is that alche-
my which converts into gold;

strength, from error clearer wis
dom, from all things good.

School Board Meeting.

The GAINESVILLE School Board met
in regular monthly session last Tues
day afternoon and all members ex-
cept two were present. Regular rou-
tine work was done, and the only
matter aside of this was the opening
of bids for an addition to the colored
school building. The Board had
$3.50. as the amount to be expended
on such Improvement, but the low
est bid for a good job was found to be
$3.50: whereupon the Trustees re-
ferred the matter to the Board OF
Mayor and Alderman for an appro-
priation of an additional 5000. That
the addition will be made, by which
a new class room will be added to
each floor of the colored school
there is no doubt. Reports from
both the white and colored schools
shows increased attendance over last
year, and as to scholarship they
have nearly equal numbers.

An Historical Bell.

The large bell that has hung in the
belfry of the Christian church in this
city since 1857 has been taken away
from its old resting place in
consequence of the repairs and
n Editions now being made to
that building. The bell which
upon SO many occasions has called
thousands of people to the house
of God, was found to be badly broken
as its crown was crushed, and an eX-
tensive crack exists at the top rim.
This old metallic retic was cast by
VIM. Kaye at Louisville in 1850 for
for the then famous Cumberland riv-
er steamer John Simpson, and it
sounded the arrival and departure of
that steamer at different ports until
1885 when the boat was wrecked by
sinking someplace between this city
and Nashville. The bell was recov-
cred from the debris after being i'm
mersed for two years, and in 1857 was
sold, Mr.. John X. Smith becoming
its purchaser, after which he pre-
scented it to the Christian church. 1t
is cast after VIM. Hayes old fash
ishoned patterns, and of course has
an ancient look, but if that gentle
man has the recasting of it to do, the
old relic will be returned to the
church vastly improved. Mr.. Kaye
is member of the Christian church
himself and of course would do al
extra fine job for the church here.

one of the wealthiest farmers in Sc

Two men, whose names, however,
we did not learn, were arrested on
Saturday at Paducah, who were sup
posed to be the parties who robbed
the eafe of E. Walter & Bro. at
Dover, Tenn, on the night of Mon
day the Goth ult. These two men
came to Dover from below on
the Tuesday preceding the rob-
berry. On the way they stop
ped at Mr.. William Carney's
and represented themselves to
be experts looking for iron ore ore,
and examined the ores presented to
them through an eye glass with the
air of connoiseurs. They stayed
about Dover several days, and during
the time had a $1,000 bill changed at
Mr.. Walters store, and one of them
was once observed in the rear of the
store making rather critical ex-
animation of the premises. From
Dover they procured a hack at the
livery stable and came to Cumber-
land City, from there on the train,
to Erin, then to Danville and then
back to Corbandale, at which latter
place they purchased skif and
went down the river in it, it is sup
posed to Dover, where they COM
mitted the robbery and went down
the river in the skiff to Canton
where they filled and sunk the skiff
They there went across the country
to Paducah to which place they were
traced by detectives put upon their
track by Waters, and where they
are reported to have been arrested.

IL happened that some speaker referred

hoped that the white ephart as adver-

attractions than the circus, for. whereas
the circus had only one white clephan {
the convention had twenty.
This reference to tho executive board

such development is sudden chill,
